Big Brother Africa 9: Hot-Shots

M-net’s Africa Magic announced the ninth season of Africa’s top reality TV series on 26 May 2014. The show will begin with more swag introducing the most dynamic and talented housemates the show has ever seen on Sunday 7 September 2014 and will run live for 91 days, 24/7 on Dstv channels 197 and 198, ending with the series finale on 7 December 2014. Once again this season the grand price is 300 000 United States Dollars.

This year open auditions were held in the same 14 countries as the previous season (The Chase) with the only exception being Angola which was replaced by new-comers Rwanda. Although Angola is the only country left out from the original 12 participating countries, this year Dstv premiered a local Angolan Portuguese version, Big Brother Angola. Additional auditions were held in Mozambique so viewers can expect a little extra surprises this season.

Production of Season 9 had to be put on hold as the Big Brother house in Highlands North, Johannesburg burnt down. Fortunately no one was injured in the blaze, which currently has an unknown cause.

Season 9 premiered on the 5th October 2014, nearby the old studio in “7th Street”, where the 26 contestants entered the new house for 63 days.

Tanzania’s Idris Sultan emerged as the Ultimate Hotshot and the winner of the US$300,000.
